In lieu of a dedicated video card, the Intel 815 chipset utilizes an integrated graphics solution. Needless to say, gaming on this machine would be painful at best.

The bicycle is a complete mystery. Some people have suggested that a tiny mouse would pedal it to drive the cooling fan. Others have said that it was placed there by Freemasons to locate buried treasure.

Personally I’d include ease of finding suitable replacement parts in a reparability score, I’ve worked on these things and would rate them at 8.5-9.5 for non-standard motherboard, motherboard mountings, and power supply.

If purchasing rather than leasing, I think the point was retire the first few that break out of warranty, and start parting them out. Compaq was very good about keeping the same line going for a long time so the parts would be compatible.
